New Foods?

[Callisto]

Just wondering if anyone has tried out any of the new foods yet that came with WoTG?

I'm going to test it out this weekend, but I think S-E may have given me yet another thing that I've been clamoring about for a while: INT+ Sushi. While it's the only stat listed, ffxiclo shows Fin Sushi as having INT+, if it also has the normal DEX/Acc/RAcc+ then it might be sweet for a melee RDM...and also it makes me wonder if Salmon Sushi has MND.

Anyways if you've gotten a chance to try out any of the foods and can confirm some stats lemme know!

When are they going to add the California Roll?

[Mhurron]

What new items actually showed up? I went looking for a new armor list but really couldn't find much except a feeling that not much got added on Nov 20th.

[Callisto]

I know that Fin and Salmon Sushi are there, on Ramuh Fin is selling for 4k/single and 20k/stack, Salmon is 9k/stack. I'm assuming Pepperoni got added since it's needed for one of the few quests that are out there, and I believe Cherry Muffins did as well. Not sure about the Mushroom stuff.

find it yourself.

Well, what would a Cheese sandwich do?

Most breads are +VIT and +HP with various lesser negative affects.

Cheese is generally a secondary ingredient in most recipes, but when eaten on its own provides a percentage based bonus to HP and sometimes (HQ Rock Cheese) a bonus to hHP.

Butter is also a primary ingredient in grilled cheese, but cannot be eaten itself, but I would say that since it is also a dairy product, it would have similar effects to other dairy items.

We are adding the following together:

White Bread
* HP +16
* Dexterity -1
* Vitality +3

Stone Cheese
* HP +5.5% (Cap: 40@727 Base HP)

Selbina Butter

FIRE!

To yield something like
* Dexterity -1
* Vitality +4
* HP +7% (Cap: 60ish)

or HQ:
* Dexterity -1
* Vitality +5
* HP +7% (Cap: 60ish)

Is anyone going to eat it?

Personally I want to know what description will go on the cheese sandwich.

These are the new food items listed on ffxiah's new items page. The wiki pages have all the recipes listed, but almost none of the stat bonuses.

I hate myself for not being able to go. I really, really wanted to ask them about Mystic Knight vs higher level Enspells.

I mean really, cheese sandwhich? GTFO...

I got to play with Fin Sushi over the weekend, I can confirm that it's INT+5 and Acc/RAcc+ 15%~ like normal sushi, but I don't know about any hidden stats(hHP/hMP+, Resist+, etc.). I thought it might be DEX+4 at first too, but then realized that was coming from my Goliard Clogs.

I'm pretty happy with it, would've been sweet to have STR+ on it too, but I won't complain. I got to toy around in Sky as RDM/DRK now that I can finally carry my full gear set around again(thank you, Gobbybag!), used Fin Sushi and melee'd vs. Genbu, my damage wasn't anything that'd show up on a parse, but my hit rate was surprisingly high, and when I used Souleater I did crank out a pretty good chunk w/ Joyeuse(I need a Haste build :wasted: )

Mage Sushi eh? I wonder if Salmon is the +MND version...

[Callisto]

I was thinking that it'd be logical for them to add a MND sushi at the same time, but when I looked at other Salmon foods they're all MND-, so I would be surprised if that was the case.

Dexterity is associated with lightning element, mind with water element. Water is weak to lightning so it follows that eating dex-aligned food would lower your mnd. There's a system to it, whether or not it necessarily makes sense.

Oh, it makes sense in several contexts. Sushi is all about attacking--it is an offensive food. MND is not traditionally an attack attribute--it is the White Magic attribute which is support/healing. INT, on the other hand, is like mage's DEX--it helps our spells hit, so it's quite complementary to the basic purpose of sushi whereas MND is contrary to it. MND is more often found on more defensive foods.
